[PATCH v9 15/15] net/pcap: add snapshot length devarg
Stephen Hemminger
stephen at networkplumber.org
Wed Jan 28 19:40:44 CET 2026
Add a new devarg 'snaplen' to configure the pcap snapshot length,
which controls the maximum packet size for capture and output.
The snapshot length affects:
- The pcap_set_snaplen() call when capturing from interfaces
- The pcap_open_dead() snapshot parameter for output files
- The reported max_rx_pktlen in device info
- The reported max_mtu in device info (snaplen - ethernet header)
The default value is 65535 bytes, preserving backward compatibility
with previous driver behavior.
Example usage:
--vdev 'net_pcap0,iface=eth0,snaplen=1518'
--vdev 'net_pcap0,rx_pcap=in.pcap,tx_pcap=out.pcap,snaplen=9000'

+* snaplen: Set snapshot length (maximum capture size)
+
+ The snapshot length limits the maximum size of captured packets. This can be
+ set with the ``snaplen`` devarg, for example::
+
+ snaplen=1518
+
+ This sets the snapshot length to 1518 bytes. The value affects the reported
+ ``max_rx_pktlen`` and ``max_mtu`` in device info. The default value is 65535
+ bytes, matching the default pcap snapshot length.
+
+ When capturing from interfaces, this limits the amount of data captured per
+ packet. For pcap file output, packets larger than the snapshot length are
+ truncated: only the first ``snaplen`` bytes are written, while the original
+ packet length is preserved in the pcap packet header.
